Olympic downhill
skier from the
United States.
In

World Championship Downhill Team competing in
St. Moritz,

Mill was on the
1976 Olympic team in
Innsbruck,
Austria, where he placed sixth in the
downhill won by
Franz Klammer. Mill was also that year's U.S. Downhill Champion. In
1978, he competed at the

1980 Olympic Downhill Team in
Lake Placid.
In

1988, Andy Mill married

Chris Evert, whom he'd met 19 months earlier at a New Year's Eve party at the Hotel Jerome in
Aspen. After 18 years of marriage and three sons, they were divorced in December

irreconcilable differences. Mill received $7 million in cash & securities from Evert, the $4 million house in
Aspen, and several vehicles. After their divorce, Mill wished Evert and
Greg Norman 'happiness'.
After his skiing career concluded, Andy Mill found another passion - tarpon fishing. A lifelong fisherman, he brought a similar level of dedication and perfection to fishing. Although he admittedly struggled for quite a few years, he eventually mastered the art of tarpon fishing and went on to become only the second angler to win 5 Gold Cup Tarpon tournaments and be a triple crown winner in tarpon fishing (Gold Cup, Hawley, and Golden Fly). Mill has also hosted an outdoor show on OLN as well as fished for a number of fish including marlin, sailfish, bonefish, and permit among others.
